Logitech VX Revolution serves me well fwiiw.

I use an APC passive cooler. IMO anything else is throwing money away. Get it a bit off the ground and the fans do the rest.

Just to be clear - you have d/l drivers, not the firmware?

I have a M1710 and the service from Dell has been great. Albeit at times it is less than efficient, but it is sound and their product is well worth it. Negotiating with Dell and waiting for the right sale (GPU/RAM included in price) makes it a most affordable route. As for the negativity ... I...

What are you going to use it for? I'd consider upping the battery to a nine cell and perhaps going to the x1400 for a little more longevity/gaming possibility. I know you mentioned you are not a big gamer, but the x1400 will offer more options in the future, imo.

Dell quality has been good to me. As for the XPS out of price range, if you have a number in mind, then it never hurts to call directly and negotiate. I got my XPS down a considerable amount and avoided having to import a Sager 5760 from the US fwiiw ...

The new VX Revolution mouse from Logitech - it's pretty sweet fwiiw.

Thanks enginurd for this - I'll go and review the AnandTech review again.

As I need to make a decision by early next week - does anyone ultimately have a RAM recommendation for a SD37P2? 667 or 800? Any reason why? I'm grateful for any feedback.

Thanks oDii. Some of the problems are that this document from Intel illustrates that the SD37P2 is supposed to be able to run DDR 800. As well, the Bad Axe version of the D975XBX makes me wonder if that is what Shuttle is running with - or wanted to. The changes @ Shuttle from 800 to 667 and the...

I have just pre-ordered a SD37P2 and the retailer is set to test the system. The question I have is that the config @ Shuttle has it with DDR 800 (PC2-6400) and my provider cannot run it stable with that RAM with his engineering sample ... so I called Shuttle’s US Tech Support and they told me...

I would like to thank everyone who has PM'd/emailed me about the status of The Tech Files. I am happy to say that the resource now has a new home. The Table of Contents has been updated. Thanks for your patience and your ongoing support/interest!

Though definitely plausible, since the chip was announced in May - this approach, I feel, would only alienate the customer ... regardless, the wait sent me looking for another product, as I need a rig now :? Ah market forces ;)

It doesn't look good ... I decdied I could no longer wait, so I went to the Core Duo 2 fwiiw ...

The problem Wizard is that the item is not in stock @ NCIX either - it merely states 'taking orders' :(

Agreed :( Does anyone have something definitive in regard to availability in Canada?

Out of curiosity - have you updated Firefox to 1.5.0.1?

Thanks to everyone for their patience! The Tech Files are back up and the Table of Contents have been updates to reflect the new server and links! Thanks to everyone for their ongoing support and interest.

IMO the higher the contrast ratio the better (obviously taking into account response time).

I personally found the stand to be one of the great features of this monitor :) I like that it has a small foot, very adjustable and the included wall mount was a bonus I was ot aware of upon purchase.

The response time is the big change. In general the viewing angles on a PVA are better, as are the colour depth and saturation.

Dear cambiran, My experience has been that Samsung supports their products and Viewsonic has a lot of those who have been burned. I'm not sure this is definitive for you, but for me, going with the 193P+ for me has been personally and financially the smart choice between the 2 fwiiw ...

Yes - that is correct.

I went with the 193P+ after seeing the difference with the viewing angles on the PVA compared with the L90D+. Added to that the response time to me was visually the same, the extra $ was well worth it for me.

Ditto fwiiw

Another idea with the magictune - if using XP - is to try under a new profile altogether. Sometimes this helps with new peripherals fwiiw.

Have you also tried it @ 75 - I seem fine @ 60, but it would be interesting to know other's thoughts in this regard.

DarkMage - to what did you up your refresh rate? I was using the default of 70 mhz with no problems from my perspective (1280x1024).

I have pruned/cleaned up The Tech Files. As well, I have updated the above Table of Contents. Please feel free to continue to suggest a/o point out misplaced/wrong/dead links. Thanks to everyone for their ongoing support and interest.

Yeah you should be fine - my video card is a Radeon 9700 fwiiw.

I tried to do this, but it is not within my/camera's ability to catch this image in any way that is of use - sorry :?

It was a promo thing that they sent me cdpage as a frequent shopper I guess ;)

That's definitely odd. Sorry to ask again - but no error report? Have you tried running MagicTune in Safe Mode to see if you can troubleshoot the issue?

What video card are you using askimo? Have you tried contacting Samsung? Any specifics errors reported?

This will likely help: http://ddccontrol.sourceforge.net/

Askimo which MagicTune did you get? I am using 3.6 with no trouble - but the 3.7 was problematic - so I went back to the 3.6 fwiiw.

This is the monitor I went for fwiiw. For me it is responsive enough for gaming and has the PVA advantage to display better picture/viewing angles.

Are you able to offer any interpretation of the results of the test? Other than a lot of flickering and such, the test seemed to offer me nothing tangible with which to understand the results ... ?

thanks Particle! Unfortunately there is no real way for me to close my windows off in the manner you have suggested - maybe in July (new office space) but until then it seems that the images will have to remain less than perfect :? I could try night photos - if there is anyway to reduce the...
